How to recover time capsule file from formatted hdd?

Hi everyone!
Yesterday i accidentally formatted my external HDD which i used for time capsule backup and other files backup.
Do you know any recovering program to recover my .sparsebundle file from the time capsule? I have tried data rescue 3 and disk drill but i get tons of files with no names on it... just .mov, .xls, etc...
Any good ideas? I've tried to find in pondinis site but it doesn't recommend any recovery software with this specific function?
Many thanks for your help!!

The sparsebundle is hugely difficult to recover.. I simply would not bother. TM breaks files up when they are stored.. it creates literally millions of bits of your files and puts them back together.. once you delete the file tables the TM backup is really dead.
You should however be able to recover you files.. they are far more important and the file structure allows them to be recovered.. even if you lose the name you can open a file and identify it.

  • Recover time capsule files

    I have a 2tb time capsule and used the reset button to restore all the settings and then create new network preferences, but I'm wondering if this wiped out my files too, and if so, how I can get them back (I already own disk warrior 4) tell me if you need more info; I'm away from my computer though (just have access to my iPad so I can't check on the files)
    thanks

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Not unless you specifically told Airport Utility to erase the drive.
    Resetting settings and preferences won't affect your data files.

  • How to delete time machine files from external back up drive?

    When connected to my Macbook I deleted some old backups to the trash.  When I try to empty trash, a message comes back saying there are locked files and files cannot be deleted.  I have turned off time machine, and tried to delete files but get the same message.  Time machine does not delete oldest file when space is needed.  How do I clear these files?  I'm trying to delete 2 years worth of backups.

    You can drag the Backups.backupdb folder to the Trash, hold down the option key, and try to empty, but often it doesn't work. In that case, you'll have to erase the volume and restore the non-backup data from a backup.

  • Transfer Time Capsule Files From One Mac to Another

    I have a MacBook Pro that is on the blink and I can't afford to fix it right now. Can I transfer some of the files from my Time Capsule to my son's MacBook Pro?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You have a couple of options.
    You could use +Migration Assistant+ to transfer your user account to the other Mac. You can select/omit the top-level folders in your home folder, but not within them. See #19 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details.
    You could restore selected items from your backups to the other Mac. Probably your best bet would be to use Migration Assistant to transfer just your account (name and password), but omit the data files, then restore selectively via the +*Browse . . .+* option. See #17 in the FAQ.

  • I deleted time capsule files that were old, but now they won't delete from the trash

    I deleted some time capsule files from the drive I am using for time machine.  It placed them in the trash, but it won't delete them.  It is asking if I want to delete only locked files or if I want to delete all files.  I have tried both, but they are still showing up in the trash.  It won't remove them.  Does anyone have any suggestions, as I do not know what else to do.  By the way I tried holding the option key and clicking empty trash and that did not work either.

    Are these files being used by Time Machine. If so, this is how to delete files from a Time Machine backup. You can not delete them using Finder. Mac 101: Time Machine
    Deleting data from a Time Machine backup
    To delete all backups of one or more items from a Time Machine backup, follow these steps:
    Click the Time Machine icon on your Dock to enter the Time Machine restore interface.
    Click on the item you would like to delete. Command-click to select multiple items.
    Control-click (or right click) the highlighted item(s) and select "Delete All Backups of..." from the contextual menu, or select "Delete all backups of..." from the Action Item menu.
    Authenticate with an administrator password when prompted.
    Important:  Do not use the Finder to move to the items to the Trash, or to move or delete items in your Time Machine backup repository. The folder containing your Time Machine backup repository is called "Backups.backupdb" and is located on the external disk or Time Capsule you have chosen in Time Machine preferences.

    for an appletv to access files directly from an time capsule it can only! access a shared lib from itunes from a computer running and running itunes

  • How do I retrieve a file from Trash using Time Machine in Mavericks?

    Is it even possible to retrieve a file from Trash from a Time Machine backup? Does Time Machine even back up the Trash? I've been told a total restore from a Time Machine backup will put the past Trash back on the Mac, but what if I just want to restore an individual file?
    Shortly after emptying my Trash on my Mac (10.9.4) for the first time in weeks, I realized I needed one of the files I'd just erased. Trying to retrieve with Time Machine was not fruitful, however, because I couldn't find the file on any of the past backups using the normal Enter Time Machine interface. However, I know it would have been in the Trash during all of the most recent backups.
    So I researched how to find the backups of Trash with Time Machine, but I think all of the solutions I found on various online forums were pre-Mavericks and do not seem to work now. I've basically tried 2 things:
    Show Trash in Finder using the Terminal command: open ~/.Trash
    It shows the hidden Trash folder in Finder, located in Macintosh HD/Users/User. For easy access, I added the .Trash folder to the Finder Sidebar. But I can't get to it in the backups. The Trash shortcut in the Finder Sidebar is always grayed out in the old backups using the Time Machine app. And it does not show up in ~ when looking through the backups.backupdb folder on my external HD.
    I also tried the Terminal command to show all hidden files in Finder: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
    But while many hidden files do suddenly appear in Finder, curiously, the User's .Trash folder is not one. This is true for the Finder of the Mac, the backups.backupdb folder on the External HD, and Time Machine app.
    Thanks.

    How do I retrieve a file from my backup in Time Capsule?
    It depends on the type of file that you are trying to retreive.
    In general.....
    Open Time Machine by clicking on the clock icon on the dock
    Wait a few minutes for Time Machine to fully load
    Use the timeline at the far right of the window to go back in time to a date when the file was still on your Mac
    Click that date
    Navigate using the Finder interface to locate the file that you want
    Click on the file to highlight it
    Click Restore at the lower right of the window to be brought back to the present
    You have to retrieve other types of files differently. For details, see:

  • How to access Time Capsule 2013 disk from Windows 7

    I have seen several (older) threads that suggest that you can access the Time Capsule disk from Windows 7 using Windows Explorer and navigating to \\Time-Capsule-Name.  However, I have tried this repeatedly and just cannot get it to work. 
    Could this be a bug or unsupported in the latest 2013 Time Capsule?
    In Airport Utility, under Disks > File Sharing, I have Enable File Sharing checked.  The workgroup is WORKGROUP. 
    The IP address is 192.168.1.4.  I am able to ping it successfully; I just cannot access it through Windows Explorer.
    Am I missing something?  Please help!

    Are you running homegroup on the PC..??
    That should definitely be turned off!!
    Homegroup can mess things up.
    I would try with ipv6 off but that might make no difference at all.. leave it set to local-link if it doesn't do anything.
    There was issues when the Gen4 came out with security. Windows uses too high an encryption level..
    See info here.
    http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/changing-file-encryption-settings-on-a-win dows-7-h.pageCd-storyboard,pageNum-5.html
    Change to 40 or 56 bit encyrption.
    Unfortunately some of the controls you think you are setting on the TC are not really being set at all.. eg I doubt you are actually changing the workgroup.. if possible though you should have disk access set to lowest level .. device password and you should also turn on guest account to read and write.. that usually solved access for me in earlier TC .. I haven't bought an AC for the moment.. because.. well I believe I have done my time on the war front. I bled out already on the bleeding edge.. time for you to do it and I can reap the benefits on the second hardware revision and about the 10th firmware update.
    Other things I would try if the above don't work.
    Factory reset and start over.. you moved the IP of the TC and that is unwise.
    Do not worry about the various settings.. do the factory reset.. in full isolation from the internet. ie TC plugged into the windows computer. Nothing else in either..
    Now try at the default IP of the TC..
    \\10.0.1.1
    Beyond that you need another computer to try or some device. iOS would be fine... in normal situation you would test other protocols, eg ftp but TC offers only SMB and AFP.. there are no AFP clients for windows that I have heard of.. you might have success if you boot the PC from a linux live cd.. it should be able to read AFP even if it cannot write to it. But the SMB is more important. If linux can access with SMB protocol and windows cannot.. the issue is windws OS.
    Or iOS devices have some AFP file browsers available but again just test with SMB.. most file browsers for iOS use SMB.. if other devices can manage SMB protocol to open files on the TC then the finger points very clearly to the PC as the trouble.. on the other hand if nothing can access SMB then the TC is faulty and should be replaced.

  • HT201250 How to recover mails of outlook from time machine

    How to recover mails of outlook from time machine

    This worked for me:
    From Time Machine, restore a good backup of the entire  "/Users/james/Library/Application Support/Address Book"  folder to a different location, like to a folder on your desktop.   
    (note: the Library folder typically won't show up in Finder. To make it visible, in Terminal, issue this command:
            defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES     
            then restart Finder:  killall Finder  )
    Go offline.  Do whatever you need to do to get completely disconnected from the internet (turn off Wireless, unplug the ethernet cable, etc.).  Otherwise, iCloud will immediately overwrite your restore.
    Delete the real folder:  /Users/james/Library/Application Support/Address Book
    Copy your restore (at the different location), to the real location ( /Users/james/Library/Application Support/Address Book )
    Restart Contacts.  Your restored data you want should be there.  Before going online again, Export all these contacts (File - Export - etc...)
    Go online again.  iCloud will wipe out your Address Book with what's on iCloud. Re-import contacts as needed from your Export.

    Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
    Get MacScan...

    But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
